Which brings up a project I've been meaning to investigate - can I run
an up2date server of my own?  If I have a bunch of (unlicensed -
copyright-compliant (i.e. Shadowman) redist of RHEL only carries the
penalty of non-connection to RHN) RHEL boxen, and I suck SRPMS from
ftp.redhat.com/.../updates, can I publish those to my internal up2date
clients?

If you've got no vendor support anyway, there's no reason not to just
build the GFS SRPMS if you need 'em...

Er... are you forgetting about the lock-and-hang problems with
rpm-4.0?  IIRC there were still unresolved issues in 4.0.1 whose fixes
were never backported to RH8...
